Foti says 7th NRRP batch to continue development of South

(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 30 - European Affairs, Cohesion Policy, South and National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) Minister Tommaso Foti said the seventh NRRP installment which Italy has just requested would continue the development of the poorer south of the country, the Mezzogiorno.
    "The 67 objectives connected to the seventh payment request are proof of the constructive commitment carried out by the Government, in collaboration with the EU Commission and all the subjects responsible for implementing the Plan", said Foti, a bigwig in Premier Giorgia Meloni's rightwing Brothers of Italy (FdI) party.
    Foti underlined how these are "fundamental measures for the modernization and growth of Italy: the start of interventions to strengthen port, railway, road and urban infrastructures, which are a fundamental prerequisite for continuing the development of Southern Italy and the concrete reduction of territorial gaps".
